It is still too early to definitively identify who the clear winners were in the recent fighting in Basra, Iraq but, with the loss of over 1,000 Mahdi Army fighters in the recent battles in and around Basra, it is not a big surprise about the ceasefire.
Just a few days ago, the Leftinistra and the Anti-Americanists were clasping their tiny hands together in solidarity and rejoicing that "
Iraq was falling apart". Those of us "in the know" knew better but the
news media did their own style of gleeful hand-ringing as well. Why the Leftinistra absolutely
leap and plunge at any opportunity to reveal their self-induced silliness is astoundingly odd.
The
anti-Americanists, as they
joyfully rejoice in the
possibility of an
American loss in Iraq and the victory in Iraq for the Iranian based militants in Iraq, are deathly silent with the news today that Muqtada "Mookie" al Sadr has told his people to stand down and has asked the Iraqi government to release his militia members that have been captured. Once again, "Mookie" has lost. The Leftinistra must be sad.
From the
Long War Journal we read: "
Sadr orders followers to end fighting". I wonder why that is? Could it be that his fighters have been bettered and now he is playing the games our own democrat party leadership plays? Cut and run when the going gets tough seems to be the cowardly ploy these days.
Six days after the Iraqi government launched Operation Knights' Charge in Basrah against the Mahdi Army and other Iranian-backed Shia terror groups, Muqtada al Sadr, the Leader of the Mahdi Army, has called for his fighters to lay down their weapons and cooperate with Iraqi security forces. Sadr's call for an end to the fighting comes as his Mahdi Army has taken serious losses since the operation began. [...]
Serious losses. This is one more shining example of the courage and the fighting ability of the Iraqi military and the American fighting forces called in for back up. The Iranian backed militias are no match. For a
slide-show of captured Iranian weaponry in Iraq, go here - sample below.
The Leftinistra are quick to point out alleged gaffes of the soon to be President Elect McCain when he "misspoke" about Iran training Al Qaida terrorists. If there was a "gaffe", the "gaffe" was that the American Public wasn't supposed to know that yet. We have always known that was the case but the Leftinistra would only whine and make fools of themselves over the observation.
The beleaguered Al Sadr and his murdering thug terrorists called "militia" - as if to qualify them as am official force - has
presented a 9-point statement with "conditions" of the cessations of hostilities. I say, NUTS!" to such a statement. He has lost -
again - and he needs to be driven into the primordial ooze from whence he and his followers emerged.
Contrary to the Leftinistra's mantra, Sadr's attempt to soil the surge has failed and was doomed to fail from the onset. Back in February, Al Sadr said that the "cease-fire" was off and then it was on again. He has - as does Hillary - suffered under the delusion that he his the heir apparent of Iraq and he is clearly not going to get that - neither is Hillary. (Odd that there are so many similarities between the terrorists and the socialist democrats.)
The Iraqi people are sick and tired of the terrorists and their ways and means of absolute control of their every day lives. They have tasted Freedom and have no intentions of giving that up. Just as we in the USA have no intentions of giving up our Freedoms to the socialist democrats and their retarded moppets.
Another news item that the American Leftinistra and Lame Stream Media will not accept is that
Hizballah moved into Basra when the Brits left. Why this was allowed to transpire is another one of those tactical mistakes - from our point of view - but, not being in the full "need to know" clique, there might have been some method to the madness. As we lured foreign Al Qaida fighters into Iraq to join the Al Qaida terrorists already in Iraq before we began to finish the 1991 Persian Gulf War, perhaps this was the tactic being employed here.
With the fighting in Basra in recent days, it has been shown that
Iran has played a very large part in it but the Lame Stream Media is deathly silent. "IS" there any doubt as to the loyalties of the American theoretical media? Not for me. You?
Some time ago, it was
revealed - and widely ignored - that the terrorists use our news media to further their cause because the enemy knows the weaknesses of the emotional weaklings that call themselves the "peace movement". The more negative the American news media gets, the more emboldened the enemy becomes. Another observation I would like to make is this: violence steps up whenever there is going to be a "meeting of the minds" in DC in regards to the war. Several instances come to mind.
One is the
Winter Soldier group as they tried to repeat what John Kerry did in 1971 and another is the upcoming meetings in DC with
General Petraeus and
Vets For Freedom. Whenever these types of meetings are drawing nigh, the terrorists step up the violence to try and influence the outcome. Coincidence? I think not.
Remember how the terrorists were so adamant about democrats coming to power in 2006? Remember how the Democrats that came into power were severely "chastised" by the terrorists when their alleged "change in direction" in Iraq failed to have the outcome which would have favored the terrorists? I remember.
